Much like us.

The Bohemian – Pilsner

Czech Pilsner

Our spin on a classic pilsner showcases all the great things about this kind of lager. In other words, it’s crisp, dry, slightly bitter, full of flavour and incredibly easy to drink.

ABV

4.8%

Aroma Notes

Key Notes: Light - Crisp - HoppyImagine the taste of a perfect lager and you’re pretty much on the money. We’re talking clean and refreshing, with loads of hops thrown in. It’s matured long and slow, so it has this great depth of flavour and slight flowery and herby notes too.

Downtown – Pale Ale

American Pale

Bitterness

Sweetness

Colour

Style

Our take on making a great American Pale Ale. British & German malts meet sexy American hops. Result: love at first taste. This is why we started our craft brewery idea back in 1999 and we are so glad we did. This was our first brew!

ABV

4.6%

Aroma

Key Notes: Balanced - Hoppy - FruityFruity is the first word that comes to mind - mainly tangerine, grapefruit and melon. Then you notice the pleasant, the full bodiness of it and how easy it is to drink. Finally, you can congratulate yourself on a great choice.

Hazy Days – Wit Bier

Belgian Witbier

Bitterness

Sweetness

Colour

Style

An easy drinking Belgian Style Beer using orange peel and fresh-ground coriander seeds. We tweaked the recipe by dropping the ABV to a more sessionable level – 4.2% - allowing you to comfortably have more than one pint.

ABV

4.2%

Aroma

Key Notes: Citrus Clove RefreshingNo prizes for guessing that this one’s going to be orangey, citrusy and a bit spicy (think cloves). The wheat malt and wheat beer yeast provide a good majority of the natural haze. The Oats bring a silky body and also contribute to the natural haze as well.

Food Pairing

Oily foods like fish, seafood pastas and creamy dishes pair well as the fresh and fruity beer cuts through, cleansing the palate.

The Beast – Black Lager

Black Lager

The inspiration is German Schwarzbier. It’s hard to believe this dark, full-bodied, roasty-toasty beast is a lager. But it really is! This beer is incredibly easy to drink.

ABV

4.6%

Aroma

Key Notes: Full-Bodied - Roasty - CoffeeMalt, dark chocolate, coffee. Hold to the light and notice, like the best schwarzbiers, that it’s actually dark brown, not black. And don’t think its richness means it’s hard to have a second.

Food Pairing

The Beast needs a strong flavour to work with - try anything with gravy or, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not try it with a dessert? It’s works surprisingly well with coffee and chocolate flavours. We all love it!

Our Mango Beer

Fruit Beer

Bitterness

Sweetness

Colour

Style

How to make a clean, golden ale sing even sweeter? Add mango! The sweet mango pulp results in a naturally hazy easy-drinker that bursts with a taste that’s totally tropical. One of our biggest sellers! It started off as a Speciality beer on tap for a limited time, but it was asked for so many times it became a permanent core beer since 2004.

ABV

4.1%

Aroma

Key Notes: Light - Sweet – FruityHmm, beer made with mango, what could it possibly taste like? Here’s a thing though – the fruitiness makes this one go down very well with cider fans. Yet it isn’t too sweet that you couldn’t drink more than one.

At Zerodegrees we dryhop mainly with US varieties of hops. Let’s try something different in 2019. We have our new Vienna Lager with European varieties of hops and this Brown Lager Single Hop – Saaz from Czech Republic. You should be familiar with Saaz because we use its in our Pilsner.

This beer is inspired by the beers frequently brewed throughout California. I’m really tired of sub-6% IPAs in England. That’s not an IPA and should be called a Session IPA. So…brew a proper IPA for our customers? Sure, job done.

Interesting facts

This beer has been extensively hopped in the whirlpool. It is also double dry-hopped and in total is at a higher rate than any beer we normally make (6 kg in 10 hL

Asian Uncensored – Japanese Lager

Style

Brown IPA

Key Ingredients

Dark unrefined sugar, Columbus, Citra, Ekuanot, Mosaic, Simcoe Hops

Tasting notes

Bitter - Toasted - Hoppy

Try with

Cheesy or Meaty dishes

Inspiration

We’ve tasted a few Brown IPAs from other breweries, and they weren't so good. So I was challenged to make a great one! Let me know what you think!

Cinnamon Roll – Stout

As it's sweet, I would recommend drinking this on its own, or drink it after dinner is done or with dessert

Inspiration

“Pastry” stouts are all the rage in America at the moment. People love dessert, and are pleasantly surprised if you can mimic it in a beer. Chris at Mother Earth had never brewed one; neither had I.

Interesting facts

This beer was a collaboration between Mother Earth Brew Co (with Head Brewer Chris Baker) and Zerodegrees.Lactose was added in the boil, cinnamon sticks in the whirlpool, and a natural vanilla extract will be added post-fermentation to produce a dessert-like beer.

New generation of Slovenian hops (Styrian Dragon) and German hops (Hüll Melon) give a lot of delicate aromas but not much bitterness.

Passionfruit – NEIPA

Style

Sour NEIPA

Key Ingredients

Passionfruit, Columbus, Cascade, Ekuanot, Mosaic, Simcoe Hops

Tasting notes

Sour - Fruity - Hoppy

Try with

Nothing too spicy!

Inspiration

A classic NEIPA base, with the addition of passionfruit

Interesting facts

It supposed to be a normal NEIPA, but the passionfruit was a bit sour than expected so the PH dropped and made it a sour beer

Pumpk It Up! – Pumpkin Ale

Style

Pumpkin Ale

Key Ingredients

40kg pumpkins, cinnamon, ginger, cloves & nutmeg

Tasting notes

Round - Comforting - Spicy

Try with

Spicy pizzas or risottos

Inspiration

It's Halloween Season

Interesting facts

Pumpkins are Musquée de Provence, a nice French variety. Got roasted in the wood fired oven to soften the flesh and added to the mash tun with the malts
4 spices to blend in properly with the pumpkins, with more Nutmeg and Ginger than Cinnamon and Cloves

American – Mild Ale

Style

Mild Ale (but with American hops)

Key Ingredients

Tomahawk, Chinook, Citra Hops

Tasting notes

Chocolate - Medium Bodied - Floral

Try with

Portobello Mushroom, Prosciutto, Peking Duck, Meatball Linguine

Inspiration

A historic style, that I paired with some piney American hops and a traditional Mild to make a great tasting, low ABV beer

Interesting facts

I used Maris Otter malt as the base malt, as it is cherished for it’s delicious bready and nutty flavour. Chinook hops give a piney aroma to the beer with the Citra supplementing some dankness.

One from two (Baltic Porter also) Polish styles of beers. Poland is famous for good smoked food (meat, fishes, fruits,) so why not try to make smoked beer? This is my first but not last attempt to brew smoked beer.

I love traditional German styles, so I set out to make a Dunkel (“dark” in German). Traditionally brewed in Munich, this is a tasty, malty, dark German lager. I used to drink litres of the stuff regularly at a Hofbrauhaus near my hometown.

Interesting facts

Dark and delicious but less coffee and roast notes compared to our Black Lager. Will be on tap just in time for Oktoberfest to start in Munich. Will take 6 weeks total in tank, between fermentation and lagering.

Mr Pink – Hibiscus Beer

Style

Cream Ale

Key Ingredients

Hibiscus flowers

Tasting notes

Dry - Fruity - Light

Try with

Moroccan salad, fried calamari, prawns dishes

Inspiration

Karkade is a famous drink in Egypt, a tea infused with hibiscus flowers

Interesting facts

In Egypt they’re used to drink karkade, a red tart and refreshing beverage made with hibiscus flowers. It's beautiful!

Rye is a grain which has no husks and is used in addition to the other malted grain, normally barley, in the ingredients during the mashing process. Rye is normally added to beer for its complex, crisp and distinctive, spicy flavour.

Tea Break – Earl Gray IPA

Style

Earl Grey IPA

Key Ingredients

Citra, Cascade & Earl Grey Tea

Tasting notes

Bergamot - Earl Grey Tea - Touch of Caramel

Try with

Anything spicy – then tannin compounds will be nice dissipated on the tongue

Inspiration

An experimental beer - to brew and learn about the combination of beer and tea.

This style originated in the NE of the USA. It is an interesting take on IPA – very hazy (like a hefeweizen), less bitterness, and tremendous dryhopping with a focus on fruity American (and sometimes Southern Hemisphere) hops.

Interesting facts

This beer has been dryhopped twice and the aroma is sublime!

Time Warp – Session IPA

Style

Session IPA

Ingredients

Water, malt, lots of hops, California ale yeast

Tasting Notes

Drinks nice and light on the palate with noticeable but not overwhelming bitterness. Abundant aroma of citrus fruits including lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine with a hint of pineapple.

100% Northern Brewer

Tasting notes

Hoppy - Clean - Fizzy

Try with

Spicy stuff!

Inspiration

Inspired by Anchor Steam Lager

Interesting facts

Tongue Twister – Peach Gose

Style

German-Style Gose with Peaches

Key Ingredients

Lactobacillus bacteria, Sea Salt, Coriander seed and Peaches

Tasting notes

Tart - Salty - Earthy

Try with

Seafood or Sherbet

Inspiration

We enjoy sour beers and were intrigued by this style.

Interesting facts

This beer was intentionally soured, in the kettle, using Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria. Peaches were added to the whirlpool with freshly-ground coriander seed. Due to high acidity it will not have much of a head when pouring.

We love traditional German styles, so we set out to make an alt bier (“old beer” in German). This is more of a hybrid between Northern German (malty, darker, less hoppy) and Dusseldorf (lighter colour, hoppier) styles.

Interesting facts

In Germany, people used to brew ales, not pilsners or other lagers. This beer harks back to that time. It is still incredibly popular in Dusseldorf, served directly from a wooden barrel.

Pacific – Rice Lager

Style

Rice Lager

Key Ingredients

Pilsen Malt, Rice Flakes & Nelson Sauvin Hops

Tasting notes

Fruity - Crisp - White Grapes - Gooseberry - Fizzy

The inspiration came from a trip in Asia where Rice is in abundance and combined it with a Pacific region hop from New Zealand

Interesting facts

Has a beautiful punch of aroma from the Nelson Sauvin hops!

Trade Sales

It only took 18 years!

After so many requests over the years, we are now releasing our beers to places that really understand and want to serve great fresh beers like us!

Beer Philosophy

It’s just this simple – By not filtering, pasteurising or using additives, Zerodegrees beer stays healthy and nutritious...and this is exactly what we have done from the beginning.

We started brewing fresh craft beer in 2000 with a small team of brewers who we're dead set on delivering fresh beer to the growing nation of beer lovers!We designed each brewery so that we could brew on site and in sight - from tank to mouth.

All of the beer served at Zerodegrees go straight from maturation tank to the tap, meaning there no need to keg. It's tank fresh beer, without the transportation - it really doesn't get any fresher than that.

Mini

Kegs

Zerodegrees' 5 litre mini-kegs are perfect for any occasion or even if you don't have one. Take one with you and enjoy the Zerodegrees experience whenever you want.

Venting the keg

Carefully vent the barrel by opening the value on the top of the keg. First, lift the red tab handle on top and turn it anti-clockwise, giving it a quarter of a turn

Preparing to Dispense

Place the barrel at the edge of the table. Bend the red tab on the front of the barrel towards you and pull out the tap. The stem will ease straight out of the keg

Pouring the beer

Hold a tilted glass under the stem end. Turn the tap anti-clockwise until the beer comes out. Pour the beer down the side of the glass.

Closing the Tap

Close the tap by turning clock-wise holding a glass underneath to catch any drips. It is not necessary to push the tap in after every drink

KEG FAQS

Once opened and as long as you can keep it in the fridge as much as possible we can last around 3 days.

How many glasses of beer can I enjoy from a Mini-Keg?

There are just under 9 pints.

Is it an environmentally friendly product?

Yes, the packaging is 100% recyclable. It is also extremely efficient considering that one single keg holds five litres of beer. For easy disposal, the empty packaging with the tap pipe can also be thrown out with the household bin.

When I try to draw beer, all I get is foam, why?

This is usually because your Mini-Keg is not cold enough. It must be placed in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours to ensure the temperature of the beer in the keg is around 5°C. Even though the keg usually feels cold to the touch when it’s refrigerated, this is because the metal exterior becomes cold much more quickly – it doesn't always mean that the beer is actually cold enough. For the perfect pour, make sure you open the tap pipe quickly and completely when drawing beer.
